BIOFIRE DEFENSE LLC

BioFire Defense LLC specializes in the design, manufacturing, and supply of in-vitro diagnostic substances and analytical laboratory instrumentation for government and defense applications. The company develops and delivers molecular diagnostic test kits, assay reagents, and buffered diagnostic components used in high-throughput pathogen detection systems, particularly for biothreat agents and emerging infectious diseases. Their technical expertise lies in multiplex PCR-based diagnostics, assay validation, and the production of precision reagents for field-deployable platforms, supporting rapid identification of pathogens in military, diplomatic, and public health environments. Key differentiators include proprietary assay chemistry, closed-system instrumentation compatibility, and end-to-end supply chain control for mission-critical diagnostic consumables. The contractor maintains a strong, long-standing relationship with the Department of State, supplying diagnostic test kits and medical supplies for overseas health security and biocontainment operations. The Department of Defense is another primary customer, procuring diagnostic panels and laboratory instrumentation for use by military medical units, including the Naval Medical Research Command, to support global fever surveillance and warfighter health protection. Work for HHS and VA aligns with public health preparedness and clinical diagnostics infrastructure. BioFire Defense’s primary industry focus is in in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing, complemented by analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing and medical equipment wholesaling. This positions them as a niche provider of integrated diagnostic solutions for high-consequence pathogen detection, serving defense, diplomatic, and public health verticals with calibrated, FDA-cleared or equivalent test systems. The company is structured as a 2L entity headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, with no public certifications listed. Their operational footprint is centered on U.S.-based manufacturing and logistics, supporting federal supply chains with domestically produced diagnostic products critical to national security and global health missions.
